Any of you tried the new catalogue Abound? If you have then you will no what I am talking about when I say its great! If you haven?t however then you may like to read on. Abound I believe launched its new catalogue this autumn with the autumn/winter book being its first. So how is Abound different to every other catalogue? Well the differences are (being more than one0: 1) Abound is on par with high street prices and I will do a few comparisons later on in the opinion. 2) It only has the interest-free option for 4 months, but this is still a lengthy time considering this is how other mail-order companies make their money, by having higher prices and slipping it onto the interest free option (although they would never admit to it. 3) The other difference obviously there isn?t as much choice as you would get in an average catalogue but the choice there is; is still good as most the clothes are fashionable and of great quality and most important of all, for all age groups and gender. So lets get to the most important thing that we as a customer expect from Abound. Prices well this is where it really does come into it?s own. I noticed that clothes like Levi?s and other brands such as Kickers were up to 25% cheaper such as Levi 525 jeans are £43 in this book but with another leading brand they are £54 so work the difference out there. Then for kickers Abound want £49 for a roll neck sweater but another leading brand expect £63 (!) what (?) So now you are bound to be thinking righto so it?s cheaper I bet you have to pay for postage and packaging? Well this is where the good news comes in. Abound is FREE for all p&p and have all the same rules on those terms as all other competitors. So in brief a short summary of this mail-order company: · High street prices · 900 pages of clothing and household goods. · 4 months interest free credit. · Free del
ivery on everything · Great customer support · In catalogue fashion advice and ideas So if that isn?t enough to even get you the teeniest bit interested then see for yourself by looking up www.aboundonline.com Or ring (0800) 0568 568 to hear for yourself. By the way thank-you for reading ;-)

- 29/10/01 Haven't heard of this. Don't normally like catalogues because they are over priced goods - but if prices are comparable may be of interest - Kay |
